More quotes by William Shakespeare
I heard a bird so sing, Whose music, to my thinking, pleased the king.
William Shakespeare
For I am fresh of spirit, and resolved To meet all perils very constantly.
William Shakespeare
My falcon now is sharp and passing empty, and till she stoop she must not be full-gorged, for then she never looks upon her lure.
William Shakespeare
I shall despair. There is no creature loves me And if I die no soul will pity me: And wherefore should they, since that I myself Find in myself no pity to myself?
William Shakespeare
O fortune, fortune! all men call thee fickle.
William Shakespeare
Things in motion sooner catch the eye than what not stirs.
William Shakespeare
Words, vows, gifts, tears, and love's full sacrifice, He offers in another's enterprise But more in Troilus thousand-fold I see Than in the glass of Pandar's praise may be, Yet hold I off.
William Shakespeare
Time's the king of men he's both their parent, and he is their grave, and gives them what he will, not what they crave.
William Shakespeare
Gentle and low, an excellent thing in woman.
William Shakespeare
To business that we love we rise betime, and go to't with delight.
William Shakespeare
Our very eyes Are sometimes, like our judgments, blind.
William Shakespeare
Can we outrun the heavens?
William Shakespeare
We must be brief when traitors brave the field.
William Shakespeare
Lord, Lord, how subject we old men are to this vice of lying!
William Shakespeare
Take heed, dear heart, of this large privilege The hardest knife ill-used doth lose his edge.
William Shakespeare
Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud Clouds and eclipses stain both moon and sun, And loathsome canker lies in sweetest bud. All men make faults.
William Shakespeare
Hadst thou no poison mixed, no sharp-ground knife, No sudden mean of death, though ne'er so mean, But 'banished' to kill me--'banished'? O friar, the damned use that word in hell Howling attends it! How hast thou the heart, Being a divine, a ghostly confessor, A sin-absolver, and my friend professed, To mangle me with that word 'banished'?
William Shakespeare
Now get you to my lady's chamber, and tell her, let her paint an inch thick, to this favour she must come make her laugh at that.
William Shakespeare
When faced with a sea of troubles, take action, and in so doing end it.
William Shakespeare
Coal-black is better than another hue In that it scorns to bear another hue For all the water in the ocean Can never turn the swan's black legs to white, Although she lave them hourly in the flood.
William Shakespeare
